Over a year ago my wife, Kim, was diagnosed with IgA Nephropathy (Wikipedia definition). Being in the IT industry, one of the first things I did was search the internet to find out as much as I could about the condition and how it can be treated.
Things that might help Kim regain her kidney function I remember quite clearly:
- Taking fish oil
- Low protein diet
- Low sodium diet
- Low potassium diet
What I hope to do is blog meals that will not only try to meet the requirements of Kim’s diet but be tasty. I also hope to chronicle our journey with this disease.
DISCLAIMER: I am not a medical professional, am not I dietitian, nor do I have any expertise with regards to any renal issues, I am just blogging my observations based on Kim’s progress.
Your own situation MUST be taken into account before trying any of the recipes I plan to post. If in doubt, consult a renal specialist or dietitian that is aware of renal issues
